There are two reasons this might be happening.

1. In your /fun, shebang scripts are not supported. Very unlikely. I don't
think shebang support is dependent on the underlying filesystem, anyway.

2. Your scripts have CRLF for newline. Run them through dos2unix and
then try running them. This seems more likely than (1). Probably you
copied your script from a Windows partition, or FTP'ed the script using
ASCII mode. Post the output of this command here:

head -1 /path/to/your/script | xxd
